All-day battery life

Pro

Super fast app switching

With 6GB of RAM - 50% more than other industry-leading smartphone - the OnePlus 3 will be able to keep tons of apps loaded in memory. This means that apps won't have to re-load often, making the phone feel faster and also saving a bit of battery life (as the apps won't need to re-load which can tax the processor).

Pro

Easy notification handling

The OnePlus 3 has a notification slider with 3 positions that toggles between all notifications, priority notifications, and do not disturb mode. This is very handy because you won't need to pull your phone out and turn the screen on to change the alert profiles anymore - you can do it from within your pocket.

Pro

Battery charges very quickly

The OnePlus 3 will charge up to 60% in 30 minutes without heating up the phone like Qualcomm's QuickCharge.

Pro

Good build quality

Instead of the plastic clad phones of yesteryear, the OnePlus 3 is encased in a metal body this time around. While the design is remarkably similar to the HTC 10 (and HTC One M7 - M9), it feels solid and looks great.

Pro

Dual SIM compatible

With 2 SIM slots, users can be more adventurous with their carriers. Whether it be getting a cheaper talk & text plan on one SIM and a data-only tablet plan on the other, or a work SIM and a personal SIM, you have the ability to pick your SIM solution. While this isn't common in North America, many other parts of the world often request this feature.

Pro

Customizable software

The OnePlus 3 uses their own Oxygen OS. Oxygen OS provides many custmizable features. For example, just for button options you have the ability to switch from on-screen to off-screen buttons, add a long-touch option, and even the button placement can be configured (back button can be either on the left or right).

Options like these are available for other areas of the phone as well, like the built-in dark theme to take advantage of the Amoled display, and the ability to move the clock in the status bar to the left, center, right, or remove it entirely (useful if you wear a watch).

Pro

Great picture quality

No matter the circumstances - very bright, low light, or shaky hands, pictures taken on the OnePlus 3 always seem to turn out alright. While the absolute quality falls short of the top-tier manufactures cameras slightly, the OnePlus 3 is more than competent enough to get the job done in virtually any scenario.

Pro

Great fingerprint sensor

The OnePlus 3's fingerprint scanner is both accurate as well as quick to act. It also doesn't click down (it's capacitive), which means that you just need to lightly put your finger on it to be read. As a minor side benefit, one less moving button means less chance of it malfunctioning or wearing out down the line.

Pro

Innovative fingerprint reader also serves as the nav bar using gestures

Tap the sensor to go home, swipe right to go back and swipe left for recent apps

Pro

Exceptional battery life

With nearly 12 hours of screen-on time per charge at indoor brightness levels, you don't need to pack a charger with you everywhere

Pro

Works out of the box with all four major US carriers (including Verizon)

With both CDMA and GSM LTE radios, you have the widest possible selection for service no matter where you go

Pro

Retains micro USB charging port and 3.5mm headphone jack

Use all your existing chargers and headphones, no need for adapters or upgrades

Pro

All metal exterior is high-quality and good looking

Aluminum and faux-chrome provides great durability and pleasing hand weight

Cons

Con

Limited American carrier support

The OnePlus 3 won't work on Verizon or Sprint (but will work on T-Mobile, AT&T, and most GSM carriers world-wide).

Con

Slightly blocky text when viewing it up close

The OnePlus 3 uses the Pentile submatrix for pixels, which makes the resolution not appear as crisp as it should be (compared to another 5.5" 1080p display it will look more pixelated). While not a big issue for most, some will be able to recognize the difference in sharpness when compared to other 1080p displays, and especially 1440p displays which are becoming common.

Con

Poor VR experience

The display has 1080p resolution which will look good on its own, however will look very grainy if used with VR (virtual reality). This is significant, because OnePlus has released the Loop VR.

Con

Shaky video capture

Even with OIS, videos come out with constant minor shakes. While panning these skakes are less noticeable.

Con

Slow official updates

OnePlus has traditionally been very slow to update their phones to new Android versions - considerably slower than the major manufacturers.

Con

Lacks NFC, preventing using it for tap to pay functions

With pay by phone becoming more and more prevalent, the lack of this functionality is disappointing

Con

Poor camera image quality despite having a 12MP sensor

Without optical image stabilization and lacking much low-light performance, you'll be frustrated if you take a lot of pictures
